Overhwelmed by pop up ads
« on: April 20, 2015, 06:12:26 AM »
Every time I look at the VP today I am assaulted by pop up ads and redirects. Doesn't happen with any other site. Is there a problem??

Don't know about redirects but I installed Adblock Plus to stop them on Youtube and it blocks them on all sites.

Sounds like you may have some malware on your system though. Run a virus scan and then install and run Malwarebytes. Between the 2 of them you should be sorted.

I've just pressed all the buttons randomly and pulled a lever or two....

...everything seems fine - the only blocking I can see on my system is the Amazon ad....  redface:

I've been to the SMF support portal and there aren't any reports of anything unusual..... they have billions of installed sites and generally, if I find anything wrong here there are allready dozens of reports over there when I log-in....

Let me know if I can do anything else....

You sure that's down to adblock and not because you uploaded a photo..  rubschin:
